TheDailyMeal.com: Awesome Ice Cream Sundaes

All About the Ice Cream

"Our minimalist sundae is two scoops (your choice of flavor combo), Ghirardelli dark chocolate syrup, real whipped cream, and a couple of maraschino cherries. [Add] nuts if you want 'em — we have peanuts, piñons, and pecans. It may not be the most outrageous, but for us, it's about the ice cream." — Jamie Leeson, Owner, Eat Taos Cow, Arroyo Seco, N.M.

"This is our #17 Sundae, a tribute to Jeremy Lin. Even though he's not on the Knicks anymore, our community loves him. It is lychee, mango, and blueberry ice cream with mochi, whipped cream, and blue and orange sprinkles. The colors celebrate the color of the Knicks when he was on the team." — Chinatown Ice Cream Factory, New York City

"Three Twins offers the world's most expensive ice cream sundae ($3,333.33) at all of their scoop shops. The sundae consists of a banana split made with syrups from a trio of rare dessert wines: a 1960s vintage port, a Chateau D'Yquem, and a German Trockenbeerenauslese. The sundae is served with an ice cream spoon from the 1850s. Not to be outdone by other overly priced foods, one-third of the purchase price from this sundae will be donated to a local land trust. If you order a day ahead, Three Twins will have a cellist perform while you enjoy your decadent dessert." — Three Twins Ice Cream, San Francisco
